Everything in this class is based off of the TA's grading. You have a paper due on the reading each week, an extra credit paper at the end of the quarter and a written midterm and final. It's just a super boring subject and the readings are agonizing but I just read tons of summaries and articles on the readings to clear it up better (instead of reading the actual content) and ended up getting an A in the class. Definitely a good professor to take this with, but depends on TA mostly!

Professor Mann is fantastic! He is incredibly knowledgeable and on par with some of the best academics of the day. I took this seminar class with him not knowing much about him or his theories and now I am a taking a political geography course that is partly about the social theories of Michael Mann. Its an unreal experience to read about someone's theories when you have discussed and argued theories with the person behind the ideas. Take him! Do the required readings, keep up on biweekly papers, and TALK in class!!!
